Vista or Vista SP1?

Manually check for Windows Updates | If an Optional "Root
Certificates"
update is available, opt to install it.  Follow all prompts.

[Unfortunately, the problem /is/ with the web-page's Certificate(s).]

Can anybody please tell me how to turn off the "content was blocked because

it was not signed by a valid security certificate" warning?

This warning comes up with several trusted source websites that I use daily, 
and I am fed up with this spurious warning. 

Vista, IE7.

I don't know what you mean by "Root Certificate" thingy, but I imagine
it is 
installed as I have my computer set to download and install all updates 
automatically.

One site I look at daily is this one if anybody wants to try themselves - 
don't worry it is just a French local government site:

[To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous 
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup.  Thank you.]

"Everything is...up to date" does not answer my questions, Rich.

That being said, you could set Internet Explorer not to "warn about invalid

site certificates" but I would not do this, as it opens an unacceptable 
security risk.
